Diverse Access Points
Very soon according to MySmartPrice, you’ll be able to tell Gemini AI to take care of message drafts, participate in interesting conversations as well as plan an event or appointment.
Methods used in accessing Gemini vary among users; some can access by clicking the New Chat at the bottom part of their screens and then selecting them from a small window that pops up. This option appears at the top above your contacts list.
Conversely, Android Police reports that Gemini will also come as a floating action button (FAB), displaying the Gemini logo and positioned over the New Chat button in the bottom right corner. This floating button simplifies access by reducing the number of taps needed to engage with the AI.

Usage Limitations
Upon launching into Gemini for the very first time there is this terms and conditions page that explains chats are not encrypted. This means you should be cautious about the information shared.

Requirements and Setup
There are some requirements that must be met before using Gemini AI on your Android device. These include having a phone with not less than 6GB RAM, enabled RCS chats, and English or Canadian French as device language.
More details can be found in Google’s Gemini Apps Help page which also includes instructions for deleting chats before the set retention period and reporting inappropriate content.
Google Messages is about to get better as Gemini AI integration will roll out in the next few weeks for most people. Watch out for this update and enjoy the new possibilities that come with having Gemini in your messaging experience.
